Building a Zipline Route with ParCool Hooks and Rope

Plan the Anchors

A zipline route needs at least two anchor points. Decide where the high end and the low end will be. The high end is where you place the first hook; the low end is where you land. Pick spots with clear air between them so the Zipline Rope does not clip through terrain.

Build the Line

1. Craft a Wooden Zipline Hook for a cheap first attempt, or an Iron Zipline Hook if the route is long or you expect to use it often.

2. Craft Zipline Rope using its shapeless recipe — make more than you think you need.

3. Place the first hook at the top anchor, on a solid block face.

4. Place the second hook at the bottom anchor.

5. Connect the two hooks with Zipline Rope.

6. Ride the line from top to bottom to confirm it works.

Tuning the Route

If the ride is too fast or too short, move the lower hook further away or lower down. If the rope will not attach, confirm both hooks are placed and that you still have rope. For a network of routes, use Iron Zipline Hook at shared junctions where several lines meet, and reserve Wooden Zipline Hook for single-use links. Test each new segment immediately after building it, before you commit to the next one.
